Our students take federally required assessments every spring. These assessments help us understand how our students are growing academically, compared to their peers across the state. The state uses this information to provide more support and resources to the schools in the greatest need. This year, the English language arts and math assessment for grades 3-8 is called the Illinois Assessment of Readiness.
The Illinois Assessment of Readiness is almost exactly the same this year as the assessment that students took last year, only slightly shorter. The Illinois Assessment of Readiness measures the same Illinois Learning Standards and includes the same high-quality test questions that teachers and students have become familiar with over the past four years.
If you have questions about the Illinois Assessment of Readiness, please reach out to Mr. Billingsley at 630-257-2286 or jbillingsley@sd113a.org. As always, we encourage our students to do their best every day. Thank you for your partnership in your student’s academic success.
